Reporter Phillip Martin watched three violent scuffles break out Sunday night as he examined dangerous problems surfacing at the downtown Boston encampment. Today he returned to the scene not just to see where the movement may be headed but to explore how diverse groups struggle to all be included under one big tent — an effort that reminds some analysts of old Democratic Party national conventions.
